I came across this item a couple of days ago. Apparently, a conservative Christian who enjoyed watching cooking shows wondered why chefs always specified kosher salt in their recipes. He thought there ought to be an alternative. And he came up with one. The pathetic irony is that he apparently found an Episcopal priest to bless the salt–I hope he gets a percentage of the profits, too. There’s more about it here.
Ok. This was just too priceless to pass up. A recent article poking fun at the dress of denizens of the Vatican. I’m particularly amused by Pope Benedict XVI’s reintroduction of papal garb not seen since the nineteenth century. You can check it out here.
Did you see the article in the Greenville News today about the Easley pastor who is subsidizing the cost of gas for a couple of hours? One just has to laugh that it comes from a church named “God’s Creation Ministry.” How about putting that money towards the use and production of sustainable fuels, or towards mass transport, or well, any number of things that might benefit God’s creation. Read it here: “We just want to give back,” someone said. But certainly not give back to God, from whom we have the created world on loan, if you will, and are destroying it.
